Day Passes in Marrakech: The Price Comparison, Place by Place
A day pass is day access to a hotel pool or a desert camp, without staying overnight. In Marrakech, it has become the simplest way to treat yourself to a beautiful pool when you're staying in a medina riad that doesn't have one, or one too small to actually swim in.
The problem is that the prices listed online are rarely the prices actually charged, and almost nobody specifies what's actually included. Here are the rates for the eight establishments we book, verified as of August 9, 2026. These are our partners, we say so plainly, and that's also why the prices are the ones you'll actually pay.
The comparison at a glance
| Establishment | Area | Lunch | Dinner |

| La Fattoria EcoLodge | Lalla Takerkoust | €30 | — |
| Bled Ouladi | Family farm | €35 | — |
| Le Bedouin | Agafay, 50 min | €45 | €55 |
| La Bohème | Agafay, 50 min | €45 | €65 |

| Palais Farah | Palmeraie | €45 | — |
| Eden Lodge & Spa | Palmeraie, 20 min | €49 | €59 |
| Be Agafay | Agafay, 50 min | €50 | €75 |
Adult rates, meal included. Palais Farah also offers a pool-only package at €25, the cheapest option on the list for a swim.
The four questions that decide for you
How much time do you have? A day pass in Agafay means 40 to 50 minutes on the road each way. Budget a full day. If you only have half a day, stay in the Palmeraie, 20 minutes away.
What season are you visiting in? From November to March, an unheated pool is decorative. Only two addresses are heated: Eden Lodge (29°C year-round) and Le Bedouin (one of its three pools).
Are you traveling with children? Policies vary enormously from one establishment to another, and that's where the bill is decided. Details below.
Do you want a pool or an evening out? Dinner packages almost always include a show and wrap up between 10pm and 11pm. It's a night out, not a lazy day by the water.
The four Agafay desert camps
A useful point before going further: Agafay is a stone desert, not a sand one. No big golden dunes. It's a lunar landscape of mineral hills, superb at sunset, but if you're after the Sahara of the photos, you'll be disappointed. The real dune desert is ten hours away by road.
Le Bedouin — €45 for lunch (10am-6pm), €55 for dinner (3pm-11pm). The most family-friendly and versatile: three pools, one of them heated, which makes it usable in winter, and a hearty buffet. Child aged 5 to 11 at half price, free under 5. If you could only pick one for a family day in Agafay, this is it.
La Bohème — €45 for lunch (noon-6pm), €65 for dinner (5pm-11pm). The most refined on the food side, with a starter, main, and dessert served at the table. Jacuzzi, petting farm, and in the evening a real show: Gnawa, oriental dance, fire breather, then a DJ. The child rate is unusual, €22.50 at lunch but €45 at dinner, worth factoring into your budget.
Sunset Agafay — €45 for lunch (11am-6pm), €56 for dinner (4pm-10pm). The closest to Marrakech, 40 minutes, with a clear view stretching to the dunes. Welcome cocktail, evening show. Free for under 5s. Note: the balance is settled in cash only, on site.
Be Agafay — €50 for lunch (11:30am-5:30pm), €75 for dinner (4pm-10:30pm). The most photogenic, and the most expensive. This is the address that goes viral on Instagram, and it owns that. Towel, lounger, and mocktail on arrival, child at half price, free under 3. One practical tip: arrive early, the best loungers go fast.
The two addresses in the Palmeraie
20 minutes from downtown, this is the right choice when you don't want to give up a whole day to travel.
Palais Farah — €45 for pool and lunch, or €25 for pool only. Open from 10am to 9pm, the widest window of any address on our list, by far. If your goal is simply to swim and read by the water without spending €50, it's the most rational option in Marrakech. Child aged 3 to 12: €15 pool-only, €25 with lunch. Private transfer available at €10 per person, from two passengers.
Eden Lodge & Spa — €49 for lunch (11am-7pm), €59 for dinner (4pm-11pm). Tropical garden, pool heated to 29°C, and jacuzzi at 32°C. It's the only address on the list that truly delivers in the dead of winter. Free up to age 2, half price from 2 to 9. Private transfer from €30.
The two family-focused addresses
La Fattoria EcoLodge — €30 adult, €18 for ages 4-11, free under 4. From 11:30am to 6:30pm. An eco-friendly farm covering 5,000 m² in the Lalla Takerkoust mountains, with a mini football pitch, playground, farm animals, and a pool. It's the lowest rate in our catalog, and for a family of four, the gap with Agafay becomes considerable.
Bled Ouladi — €35 adult, €22 for ages 2-11. The first baby under 2 is free, €10 for each additional baby. Petting farm, large pool, buffet. Lunch at 1:30pm, activities and a farm visit at 3:30pm, which structures the day without you having to plan it. The balance is settled in dirhams only, on site.
The math nobody does for you
The price shown is per adult. For a family of two adults and two 8-year-olds, the real gap is stark:
- La Fattoria: 30 + 30 + 18 + 18 = €96
- Bled Ouladi: 35 + 35 + 22 + 22 = €114
- Le Bedouin, lunch: 45 + 45 + 22.50 + 22.50 = €135
- Be Agafay, dinner: 75 + 75 + 37.50 + 37.50 = €225
Add transport. A round trip by taxi to Agafay is negotiable, but it's never free, and some establishments offer a private transfer that's best booked in advance.
Three traps to know before booking
Cash. Sunset Agafay only accepts cash for the balance, Bled Ouladi only dirhams. Don't count on your card.
The return time. Dinner packages in Agafay wrap up between 10pm and 11pm. You get back to Marrakech around midnight. With young children, the lunch package is almost always the better choice.
Booking. These aren't municipal swimming pools. Be Agafay only takes reservations, and in high season the others fill up several days in advance. A day pass isn't something you decide the morning of.
Our recommendation, if you want a short answer
For a first time in Agafay, as a couple or with friends: Le Bedouin at lunch, €45. For a family day: Bled Ouladi, €35, for the farm, the buffet, and a day that's already structured without you having to plan it. La Fattoria remains the cheapest option, at €30. To simply swim, at the best price: Palais Farah, €25 pool-only. For the photos and the evening: Be Agafay or La Bohème at dinner, accepting the price tag.
